Personally I can't believe people are telling him to upgrade that bike. It's really nice.

yea, me neither. its like someone buying a Ferrari and everyone telling him he needs to upgrade it. that bike is already nicer then most avid bikers have, go rock it and don't worry about it

yeah that new ktm is sick, it depend on what riding your doing
if you were looking to race i would go with the ktm or an ltr 450
for trail riding you want a rapor or pedator

i was looking at the raptor. im not looking to race now, but possibly in the future. raptors don't really have a class though so there out. if i was going to buy a raptor for trails i would probably just buy a renegade. im thinking the ktm could do trails with the a arms even bent to have a higher ground clearance, and i could race it in the future if i so please

yeah but if you want high end trail and race capabilities i would go with the ds 450 x

i read the dirt wheels review of that, it is very innovative with the brake setup and hollow axle and all, but they didn't seem too overwhelmingly impressed. ill have to look at one in person. i went to a dealer to cheack out the ktm, it just seems more bare bones mx style. i like the adjustable camber on the a arms. the only thing is that i wish they were efi, but not a big deal still
